Pujols dumped the single into shallow right field in the fifth inning against Mike Leake. Pujols received a standing ovation from the crowd at Safeco Field and was given the baseball and first base as a memento. The Angels won, 5-0, and Pujols collected hit No. “I was really excited, but at the same time you still have a game you need to play and you still need to focus to win that game,” Pujols said. Let’s go win that game so it can taste a little better with a win.”
